Connecting to a Power Source

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a
polarized plug (i.e., one blade is wider than the other). Use only
a polarized plug, UL-listed (CSA certified in Canada) extension
cord recommended for outdoor use. A polarized plug will fit in a
polarized cord only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the
cord, reverse the cord. If it still does not fit, purchase a polarized
extension cord. If you have a polarized extension cord and the
extension cord plug does not fit fully into the wall receptacle,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician
to install the proper outlet. Do not change the appliance or
extension cord plug in any way.

cause electric shock, causing injury or death.
